Based in Batesville, Arkansas, Pro Se Productions has become a leader on the cutting edge of New Pulp Fiction in a very short time.

Pulp Fiction, known by many names and identified as being action/adventure, fast paced, hero versus villain, over the top characters and tight, yet extravagant plots, is experiencing a resurgence like never before. And Pro Se Press, publishing New Pulp since August, 2011, is a major part of the revival, one of the reasons that New Pulp is growing by leaps and bounds!

Pro Se is the place to find Super Heroes, Explorers, Fairies, Werewolves, Men's Men, and Femme Fatales. Specializing primarily in prose books, anthologies, and magazines, Pro Se has made a commitment to 'Put the Monthly Back into Pulp' and continues to do that successfully, producing at least one New Pulp work every month!

Pro Se is an innovator in New Pulp, continually refining its presentation and product and working on exciting new veins of New Pulp to bring to readers and fans of all ages everywhere!

What is New Pulp?

Pulp Fiction has many layers. More than a part of the past or a style of writing, Pulp is a historic event, has been since the first
cheaply made, quickly written magazines hit the newsstands so many decades
ago. Was it necessarily a whole new form of literature, then?
No, not when you take into account the dime novels and such that preceded
pulps. What it became, however, is an unstoppable force, an unbelievable
influence on writers of the era and especially writers, both famous and
unknown, of every year since. The simplistic, yet layered
storytelling, the one-two punch of the dialogue and the action, and the over
the top antics, characters, and resolutions that made readers believe in the
amazing, the fantastic, and the incredible have leaked into modern literature
in ways that no one expected.

As a publisher of New Pulp, something that has been
going on really since the original era of the Pulps ended, Pro Se agrees with many who have said that we are in the midst of a Pulp
Renaissance. With the advent of things like the internet,
Print on Demand, and an overall increase in interest, Pulp is becoming more and
more popular and noticed every day. This can be proven simply because of the
number of writers, artists, and especially publishers that
have set up shop in the last five or so years, creators who are simply out
to do one thing-write Pulp. And even before this new crop of artisans,
Pulp still had a strong foothold. Collectors, dealers, and fans of the
original works and legendary stories have been active enough over the decades
that Pulp has shown up at a variety of conventions and venues, even so much so
that there are at least two major Pulp conventions a year, not to mention
smaller dealer shows and other events throughout the year.

It’s a proven fact. Pulp, if it ever really
went away, is back and with a vengeance. And out of this
resurgence in interest, out of the dedication of dealers and collectors keeping
the love of Pulp alive, and out of the creative, inspired minds of modern
creators thirsting to express their ideas, stories, and thoughts through the prism
of Pulp, something else has arisen. Something innovative, yet not disconnected
from the established work. Something original, yet grounded solidly in
inspirations and influences past. Something novel, but
familiar at the same time.

This is the era of New Pulp.

Pulp will never die. What has come before
will never change. The almost
mythic purveyors of this most awesome fiction in its classic era will always be the best. But they have descendants
in spirit, authors and artists who have picked up the banner and carried the
standard of Pulp forward. The past of Pulp will be preserved by the
historians, touted by the collectors, distributed by the dealers, and reprinted
by the fantastic resources that have taken that on. Those
unbelievably great adventures will thankfully never fade away.

And out of that legacy, out of that history, out
of that imaginative period and body of work has come New Pulp.

What is New Pulp? For Pro Se,
the explanation is fairly simple. New Pulp is fiction written with the
same sensibilities, beats of storytelling, patterns of conflict, and creative use
of words and phrases of original Pulp, but crafted by modern writers, artists,
and publishers. New stories with either completely original characters or
new tales of established characters from Pulp past. It’s reallythat simple. New Pulp is Pulp written today.
